Pod filter for Q45 AFM

Does anyone know what model number Apexi pod if any will fit onto a 90mm Q45 AFM? I found one on Greenline that has an 85mm outlet, which I presume is the same inside diameter of the Q45 AFM. Does anyone know if it will bolt straight on or if I need some sort of adapter?

Here is link for the Apexi intakes at Greenline. Specifically, I'm hoping that the "Power Intake 160-85B Replacement Element" will bolt straight on.

No ..it requires an adapter...read the description on Greenline

Do you have experience with this or are you just reading the description? I did read the description and it wasn't clear where the adapter actually went, and I couldn't even find the adapter on the list.

Jason has since replied to my email and said this: The part that you have mentioned is the correct replacment filter for the Q45 Infinity. The notes mean that the part is designed to be a replacement filter for the Q45 kit which comes with parts for specifically fitting it to that vehicle.

So it seems you need an adapter to attach the pod to the vehicle, not the AFM. Since I've already got a custom air box to hold it in place, I don't seem to need an adapter. Jason only quoted me for the pod anyway so I'll get it alone and see how I go.

The replacement filter is just what it says....it is a replacement filter for someone who has a car specific filter kit and needs to replace just the filter. The kit includes an adapter plate to bolt the filter to the AFM...if you haven't got the adapter plate you will need to get one . thus it sounds like you need a filter Kit to suit the Q45 afm. The pod does not attach to the vehicle it attaches to the AFM and there is usually a bracket to brace the AFM to the vehicle

Quick update: I received the pod this morning, and it bolts straight on as my old pod did to my factory AFM. In the (Japanese) instructions, there is a diagram showing adapter/spacer in between, but I think that may only be required if you still have the factory airbox or you need to mount it to the chassis. There is also a metal bracket to hold it to the chassis in the diagram, which I guess is part of the adapter kit. None of it is needed in my case, as I have a UAS airbox which holds the AFM securely enough. Well, it will once I dremel out a bit more room for the bigger AFM :)

One cause for concern is the extra bolt holes to line up on a different style AFM, they protrude past the edge of the gasket and may be a point at which dust can get sucked through over time. I may fill the extra holes up with Tarzan Grip or something.

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
